November 11–January 18
Dalya Luttwak was born in Israel's Northern Galilee, on a Kibbutz situated
where three tributaries meet to create the Jordan river. Her parents escaped
Czechoslovakia just as World War ll started and began to put down "roots" into
a new soil in the parched Middle East.
In a poem called "From The Book Of Questions", Pablo Neruda asked "Why
Do The Trees Conceal The Splendor Of Their Roots?"
In this sculpture series,
Luttwak digs literally and metaphorically to study the "Hidden" structures
and shapes of plant roots, exploring the differences and relationships between
parts above ground and parts below within the same plant.
